A place to be a kid, All at no cost to the family.” Along with the room transformaon, Special Spaces provides lodging, meals, and entertainment for the families whole the volunteers make the magic happen. “Siblings tend to be put on the back burner and feel le out when the child with cancer is geng a lot aenon. So, to make them feel included, we do a makeover to their bedroom as well,” adds Peterson.
Special Spaces is a nonprofit organizaon that creates dream bedrooms for children with cancer, ages 2-19 and within a year of acve treatment. Through the child’s imaginaon at no cost to the family, the exisng bedroom is transformed into a custom and environmentally safe place to sleep, heal, and spend me away from the challenges of their illness. Whether they wish for a princess castle, a teen retreat, a pirate ship or a sports theme, Special Spaces volunteers work together to give the child a bedroom of their dreams and a comforng place to go when their world becomes overwhelming, and the pain is too much to bear. All makeovers are created by volunteers and funded solely by donaons through sponsors and community partners who supply monetary support, goods, and services.
